Designation

Description (summary) 2006-08-29 vVE Feature, 572, is a slightly reddish light brown deposit that is not much different from the overlying natural accumulation f571 except that it is softer, more crumbly and perhaps a little bit lighter in hue. [Input: Q829VE3.j]
2006-08-30 vVE At the bottom of f572 were lying two boulders, f575 and f579. Under f572 appeared the soft and ashy layer of f576 [Input: Q830VE1.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2006-08-29 vVE f572 was uncovered after excavating all of f571 in the Northern half of k1. [Input: Q829VE3.j]
2006-08-30 vVE We excavated f572 today in the northern half of k1. At the bottom of it appeared two boulders, f575 and f579. [Input: Q830VE1.j]
2006-08-31 vVE In order to make sense of the new row of boulders, whose tops have been uncovered while excavating the Northern half of k1, we started to excavate the natural accumulation f572 also in the Southern half of k1. [Input: Q831VE.j]
2006-08-31 vVE The natural accumulation f572 was now also excavated in the Southern half of k106 in order to clarify the context of the boulders that had appeared yesterday in the northern half of k106. During the excavation of f572 several more large boulders were uncovered and relayed: f584, f586, f587, f588 and f589. These boulders seem to lie on the same level as the ash deposit of f577.

2012-08-26 jW Natural accumulation beneath accumulation f571 and atop natural accumulation f578. [Input: W826JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2012-08-26 jW Ceramics have not been fully analyzed. With the exception of the head of an animal figurine (typologically generic) often found in Mittani and earlier occupation levels, the items are ubiquitous. [Input: W826JW.j]
Notes on time sequencing 2006-09-04 vVE The deposit of f572 lies on top of f576 which dates to s13a and lies under the s12b deposit of f572. [Input: Q904VVE.j]
